The Sorn Inn

“Smart village gastro pub where fine dining and brasserie-styles meet” - AA Inspector
SORN, EAST AYRSHIRE

Our View
Stage coaches travelling between Edinburgh and Kilmarnock changed horses at the Sorn Inn, and travellers would grab some basic refreshment. It's all very different today in this smart gastro pub, where fine dining/brasserie-style fusion food is the big attraction. Particularly popular are seasoned cuts of aged Scotch beef, available in both the Chop House and the Restaurant, maybe even more so when enhanced with a slice of black pudding or haggis. Look too for smoked Ayrshire bacon carbonara; pan-fried fillets of sea bass; and spaghetti cauliflower with capers and chilli, while chargrills and daily blackboard specials widen the choice. Dogs are welcome in the bar. Sorn, by the way, is Gaelic for kiln.
